Software Feature Licenses
Rather than requiring costly dedicated hardware and costly integration to achieve your system control needs, Q-SYS is able to provide more robust control capabilities to its existing audio and video capabilities, at the software layer through optional feature licenses.

FAQ
Q. How do I purchase a QSC feature license? How much do they cost?
A. Contact your local QSC sales representative.
Q. How do I install a QSC feature license?
A. Watch “Activating Software Licenses in Q-SYS”. You can learn about easy online and offline activation methods.
Q. Where is the licensed installed?
A. These control features are perpetual licenses that are node locked to the Q-SYS Core processor itself.
Q. When will these feature licenses be available? Which version of Q-SYS Designer Software will they be applied to?
A. This will take effect on NEW systems installed with Q-SYS Designer Software v7.0 and higher, released February 26, 2018.
Q. If I upgrade an existing Core 110f processor or Core 510i processor that was in the field prior to the release of QDS v7.0, will I need to purchase a license for control features?
A. No, existing Core 110f and Core 510i processors will have the ability to use new control features without feature licenses. Simply installed Q-SYS Designer Software v7.0 or higher, and you will not be prompted to purchase and install feature licenses.
Q. As an integrator, do I need a license to work on my designs in emulation mode?
A. Of course not! One of the most cherished Q-SYS features for designers is the ability to design and test in emulation mode prior to saving your design to the Core. You will only need a license when it comes time to save your design to the Core.
Q. What if I don’t use any of these features? Do I still need to purchase and activate a license?
A. No. If you do not intend on using the new control features, then you will not need a license.
Q. If I am using redundant Cores that use licensed features, will I need to purchase and install a feature license on each Core?
A. Yes.
Q. If I would like to deploy these new control features onto larger Enterprise Cores, do I need these software licenses?
A. No, the current Enterprise Cores (Core 1100, 3100, 5200) will not need feature licenses to deploy UCIs, custom scripts or plugins. Simply upgrade them to Q-SYS Designer Software v7.0, and you will have access to these features automatically.
